It’s all maildir, but with over 100k files. ^^
I’ve had enough at one point and figured there must be something wrong with my
database. So I moved it away and reindexed everything. Seeing that it indexed a
lot more files, I think that the database has been in a very old state for
quite some time and baloo tried to update it ever since.

There is one problem though: the write volume is very bad. The final database
file is maybe around 16 GB (the defunct database was 18 GB), but the write
volume during indexing was a multiple of that during indexing, at least 100 GB.
So I symlinked ~/.local/share/baloo to a ramdisk.
